Bruins Recall Fraser Minten from AHL Ahead of Carolina Matchup

The Boston Bruins, struggling with ten consecutive losses and nearing playoff elimination, have recalled 20-year-old forward Fraser Minten from the AHL as they prepare to face the Carolina Hurricanes. Minten, acquired in the trade that sent defenseman Brandon Carlo to the Toronto Maple Leafs, had a notable performance in the AHL, scoring seven points in ten games, including a hat trick. This marks Minten's second stint in the NHL, having previously played 15 games for the Maple Leafs earlier this season. Bruins management views this opportunity as crucial for evaluating young talent in light of their disappointing season. Minten's debut is seen as a chance for the team to gain valuable experience without the pressure of playoff contention. The Bruins aim to disrupt the Hurricanes, who are in strong form, having won 12 of their last 15 games.
